The Shaykh : So, write it down.
The questioner : Peace be upon you.
The Shaykh : And upon you be peace.
The questioner : ... O honorable Shaykh.
The Shaykh : Yes.
The questioner : We bear witness to Allah that we love you in Him.
The Shaykh : May Allah love you, the One in whom you loved us.
The questioner : I ask Allah, Exalted is His status, to gather us with you in the shade of His Throne on the Day when there is no shade except His.
The Shaykh : Amen.
The questioner : A question, O honorable one. With the approach of the summer vacation period, guardians frequently go...
The Shaykh : Yes? Yes?
The questioner : Guardians frequently take their children to what are called children's amusement parks. These places contain religious violations, such as the display of adornment by some women. The children are very eager to go to these amusement parks. What is the religious ruling on going there?
The Shaykh : Yes. These amusement parks—as our brother the questioner mentioned—contain evil. If a place contains evil, and a person is able to remove this evil, it is obligatory for him to be present to remove it. If he is not able to do so, it is forbidden for him to be present. In that case, we say: take your children out to the open fields, and that is sufficient. As for bringing them to these playgrounds where there is free mixing of men and women, where there are foolish men who flirt with women, and where there are clothes that are not permissible for a woman to wear, it is not permissible to go there unless one is able to remove the evil. Yes.
